From: Blood neutrophil activation markers in severe asthma: lack of inhibition by prednisolone therapy
Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD11b, CD62L, CD35 and CD18 expression on blood neutrophils in 10 mild and 9 severe steroid-dependent asthma before (pre) and after (post) a course of prednisolone or of increased prednisolone dose (30 mg/day for one week). CD62L expression decreased in mild asthmatics following prednisolone, but there was no effect in patients with severe asthma. *p < 0.05 compared to pre-values in mild asthma group.
